Cummings and Thomas Davis have nominated me for /given me (not sure lol) the Versatile Blogger Award! So thank you very much!

The rules for this award:
The Rules to accept the award are as follows:
- Thank the person who awarded you and link back to them in your post.
- Tell 7 random facts about yourself.

Seven (7) Random Facts about me:
1. Hobby & Old stuff: I am fond of ships, old things and history, my hobby is Genealogy
2. Language: Have studied some Russian in my past, but I like the English language very much
3. Health: A bit of a mess at times with eyes going bad and mobility trouble but nothing really dangerously serious. I have gout (podagra) in my left foot now (I thought only grumpy old men got gout?) so I do a lot of resting at the moment
4. Pets: I love cats but presently have none due to husband who doesn’t want them anymore. Dogs: Cocker Spaniels are cute.
5. Family: I miss our youngest son who is an exchange student and staying in California for a Highschool year till end of June. Proud of all my 3 sons!

Thank you, Ina!
As I have written elsewhere, I love this award because we get to learn a bit more about the blogger. You have such wonderful and interesting hobbies/interests, but I’m sorry to know about the gout.
Sounds like your son is in our area – Northern California?
I had to look up Terschelling Island. Know nothing about it.
Blog on, Ina. We do enjoy your work …
Hi Jamie, thanks. He is near LA and Santa Monica, Malibu.
🙂
Hi again, Ina!
I just sent you an email. Please check for it.
Thank you!
Jamie
I got it! 🙂
Hi Ina,
Thank you for the nomination I appreciate that.
However I am going to think about it for a little bit before saying yes or no.
David
I can imagine 🙂 as you are an established English poet, I am just an amateur in this field 🙂
Not so much that Ina,
More I want to be sure I can commit fully to the Jingle community before I take it further.
I am not sure I have either the energy or the time to do that.
That is really grand of you.
You take it seriously, that is so nice 🙂 Just in case: You are not letting anyone down by not accepting! I just had to try as you are one of the best blogging poets I know . And of course I am curious to know 7 things about you!
Ina, you are featured here:

Happy day –
It was real fun Jamie 🙂 thanks!
thanks for the acceptance…
I came here to look for the perfect poet award acceptance,
in case you have inserted the award image, nominated a poet, please comment in my award post to let me know.
Happy Friday.
Hi Jingle, thank you very much for the award! 🙂 I have put it on this post:
https://inaweblogisback.wordpress.com/2011/03/31/just-before-the-fall/ and I have visited your blog now too to say so.
Somehow I have to put links at the bottom, or the whole post becomes a link (I will figure it out)
In your case this award is very well earned. You are a stand out gifted blogger in my opinion
Hi countingducks, thank you very much 🙂 That is very kind of you to say!
